Is anything/one really non-spiritual?

[Moonglow]

Hello,

Something been buzzing around in my mind.

Is anything or anyone non-spiritual?

There is talk and even some teachings that everything/one has Spirit.

It is felt by some as energy flowing and by others as perhaps life.

If so, then ask the above question.

I personally see everything as involving Spirit on some sort of way.

Is it how or whether one practices "fine tuning" the relationship(s) one may have or perceive with Spirit/God/Creater, that creates the identity of " spiritual"? Isn't this in a way religious, although some practices may not be so institutionalized/mainstream?

To me it is all spiritual (of Spirit) in its own way, so just been playing with the thought as to how it/someone is or can be non-spiritual. Just terms to define what is being talked about?

Throwing the thoughts out there. Welcome any further thoughts.

Yes, everything in essence is spiritual.
I believe it's a matter of being
aware / awakened to this.

The majority of people go through their
entire lives not aware of the soul in
which they are or the depth of life that
exists.

What is a spiritual journey to someone
who isn't even aware they are on one?

Hi LiberatedLotus,

You pose an interesting question.

Inspires some further thoughts.

In what way(s) is it meant one is not aware of soul or the depths of life?

If someone is unaware or simply pays no mind to being on a "spiritual journey", does this mean he/she is not on one?

Where my mind goes with this is that Spirit is on the journey anyways. We are on a journey through life anyways.

I guess in the spiritual sense it may come down to how one relates to all this.

Now mind you, just sharing some reflections on this.

The irony or funny part is these relationships and connections have been and go on regardless whether I pay attention or not. Although will get a nudge or feelings that seem to redirect me or bring my focus to aspects in life that may need attention.

Appears to me that Spirit has a hand in this either way. Not always sure what Spirit may have in store. Just what it may reveal in its many ways/manifestations.

Thank you

Nope. We "in the west" are clouded by materialism. Is there anything spiritual
about a car or television or going to work?

But turn to certain belief systems and everything is acknowledged as
spiritual. No surprise. We construct a view of the world in ourselves.
What's actually out there doesn't much matter.

Well, whether aware of their soul or not, they are aware
of their hearts, I'd say...what pains them and attempting to improve
to what makes them feel relief, peace and contentment without
thinking about 'soul' or even God, I'd say.
That is their journey.

I always like when someone brings up the word matter, because so many
of us know there is no such thing.

Personally, I can't imagine it any other way and is something I have concluded as well even if it wasn't taught.

I would put this as the reason. It makes total sense to me because this thought has come from my experience. Yet others don't see it. Why the different experiences that make us see opposites or see it non-important.

Are we suppose to arrive at different realizations or the same ones. I think the same ones.

To me it is all spiritual (of Spirit) in its own way, so just been playing with the thought as to how it/someone is or can be non-spiritual. Just terms to define what is being talked about?

If it's spiritual it can't be non-spiritual of course unless, this place is suppose to be like a vacation spot...lol.

Absolutely there is. Do people really feel it isn't. Spirituality is in everything!

I don't feel I am wrong about feeling this to....lol. The duality of the heart, the singularity of the thought.

Hi Lorelyen,

What thought comes along is may depend how one views Spirit or in what context it is being discussed. But I did ask if everything.

Would venture to say material things may hold similar energy as to organic things. Atleast those elements that give a sense of form.

Does my car have a soul, would say no. It may break down and decay and those bits may blend with the Earth, over time. So, in this sense a continuance of sorts takes place, IMO and it impacts the Earth.

Yes, can agree we construct our view of the world. In many ways through this construct what is and what is not spiritual in some ways. Through this may form beliefs systems or deconstruct such held systems.

What's "out there" may have its influences and I just don't know what is all out there. It seems to do its thing regardless.

May be ithe experiences we have through the material things used may bring awareness of our impact upon the Earth and others.
Not to get attached to them, but they can be a means to have one more aware of what is out there or to get from point A to point B, IMO. Just tools to use.

Thank you
